Nope. The most I'll do is scribble down a few notes haphazardly if I'm on a particularly significant scene. I do have a list of the names in the story at the every end so it's always there when I'm writing. Makes it much easier to remember how X character's name was spelled and what their relationship was. I'll include things like looks if I'm worried I'll forget.
I finished the book! *Cheers* Now I just have the contact the cover artist and cross my fingers that she'll be able to get something to me before next year. Not too hopeful on that, frankly. Christmas and all. But I'll try. Still haven't gotten to the edits on one of the previously finished books (my hubby read one and he's sick right now) and the other beta reader hasn't gotten back to me yet. That's three books backed up. *rueful groan*
Plus I'm taking a new online class, this time on writing short stories. And wouldn't you know it? We have to write short stories. My first one is due Sunday and I'm trying not to freak out about it. The teachers are both 35+ year professionals who've written and edited professionally, including for major SF magazines. @__@
But I should learn a lot, right? *bites nails*
And with that I need to go finish the short story for this week (SF, 3000-6000 words, must have 1) an alien and 2) a pet--I have a sorta alien young man who grew up on a space station and a maine coon cat who adopts him as her rather clueless human kitten). Good luck with your big scene!
